It was a true pleasure to hear the composer John Adams speak last night at the Cantor Arts Center. Kronos Quartet violinist David Harrington conducted a free-flowing interview with his fellow musician and friend -- the two have known each other for 30 years. It was like eavesdropping at a particularly entertaining dinner party. You never knew what turn the conversation would take next.
